Entrance is a bit not visible but you do not have to exit the station. Room was clean with nice view, no bottled water included. Kanazawa station is a big shopping mall as well so eveything you need is here. You can buy the Kanazawa bus loop at the tourist info centre.
Check in was very easy; staff spoke English and was very gracious. The room was clean and amenities were available in the lobby. Great location since it was inside Kanazawa Station.
I love that this hotel is right in the train station. The station has a lot of shopping and restaurant options. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel offers a variety of items near reception in case you forgot anything.

The hotel is suitable for those who don’t want frills or space . The room was tiny with no window, the pillows seemed to be made of impacted straw and the hardest I’ve ever slept on . I’m glad I was only there 2 nights . The shower however was great and the cleaning ladies lovely , really polite and courteous.

The location is ideal as it’s located right in the train station.
Surprisingly there were not many English speaking reception staff
The hotel is good - the room is a bit on the small side (but that is fairly normal for Japanese hotels)
The hotel can be accessed directly from the Kanazawa train station (no need to go outside - very helpful on rainy days).
The area around the station is very tourist friendly - and a quick bus ride can get you all the attractions.
It is a great hotel if you like me don’t have a lot of time to visit Kanazawa, but do want to see some this interesting city.
I would definitely recommend this hotel
The hotel is right on top of the train station and that makes the travelling super easy. Lots and lots of shopping and dining within the train station. Kanazawa castle, museum, Cha Ya districts and temples are easy to get to via the loop tour bus. The location of the hotel made travelling easier and more enjoyable. Definitely the first choice of accommodation.
Not user friendly for people with disabilities. There is a huge gap between bathroom and the room. I need to request a step riser in order for me to enter the bathroom. Also I requested whether they have a room with easy access for disabled people. They found one but I need to pay extra of 5000 yen per night for a special room.
The hotel is inside the train station, so it is a little noisy in the early morning and late evening , but we like the location, no need to get up early to catch the train
